The illness had hit me like a truck, yet it took its time to leave, clinging onto me, unwilling to let go.I had lost a lot of weight. But I didn't want Nicholas to think that I hadn't been doing well without him, so I purposely wore something thick.After covering myself up, I found a pair of sungl
Jasmine's lips twitched as she forced a smile. She sneered as she asked, "Ms. Jones, how can you be so harsh with your words? Are you upset?"I smiled and looked at Jasmine. "I'm just feeling worried about you. He's raising you as a pet. No matter what, it sounds a bit cheap."Jasmine paled as her h
Nicholas' heaving chest finally calmed down, and he immediately held Jasmine's shoulders and pulled her tightly into his embrace."So what if I'm raising her as a pet? If I were to raise a pet, I'd only want pets that are good and obedient. I wouldn't want to raise a pet like you."So what if I spen
The news about my divorce from Nicholas had spread quickly and caused quite an uproar.It wasn't due to the divorce itself, but because Nicholas had done what he said he would. The night of our divorce, he lit the city up with fireworks. He was doing it because he wanted to show me that all of his
Pete didn't seem to be joking as he looked at me calmly. His burning gaze slowly morphed into one of anxiousness. He gulped repeatedly, seemingly waiting for my answer.My thoughts began to swirl as I listened to his words as I remembered the past.When we were young, I used to find Pete annoying. H
The atmosphere immediately turned heavy due to Nicholas' presence. I shivered slightly when I saw his car. Shouldn't he be accompanying Jasmine instead? Didn't he want to give her the best of everything?My emotions began to swirl out of control. Who was he to disrupt my life over and over again? I
I quickly ran over and placed my hands over the arm Nicholas was using to hold onto Pete's collar. I tried to break them apart, but Nicholas' grip was so tight that the veins around his arm had popped from his wrist up into his sleeve.Looking up, I saw that his entire face was dark and even his ga
The next day, I returned to Radiant City, hoping to see him one last time. To my surprise, I was turned away at the entrance.A small note was handed to me by a police officer. On it were Nicholas' strong, determined words."Wait for me to atone for my sins. Wait for me to come to you."Staring at t
"All the mistakes began with me, so today, I will end them."Because of my actions, those who deserved punishment were able to evade justice for four long years. I am willing to cooperate with the police investigation, provide the necessary evidence, and take full legal responsibility for any past a
After hanging up the call, I immediately searched online.Screenshots of Nicholas being taken away were plastered across numerous articles by the tabloids. And the top four trending topics were all about him."Hawk Corporation CEO Publicly Confesses Love""Hawk Corporation CEO Taken Away for Investi
I suddenly received a call from Douglas. He asked when I would need Tabitha's passport back, as it was still with him. I couldn't help but feel that once a person wakes up to the truth, everything starts to fall into place as it was meant to."Send it to Coral Villa," I said, then hung up and went t
In the following days, my schedule was always tightly arranged by Nicholas.He subtly hinted and asked whether I'd consider remarrying him, saying it might make the adoption process for Cory easier. However, I could handle the matter myself, even if it was more troublesome.Rather than discussing re
It wasn't until Leo was wheeled out of the operating room that I finally saw Yasmine and Nicholas in the ward.The two of them exchanged a silent glance when they saw me and turned away in unison, as if by mutual agreement.I couldn't help but feel that the tension between them had somehow lessened.
Nicholas' entire body trembled violently, his mouth opening and closing for a long time without being able to utter a single word."My father… wasn't it because of my mother…""It was your mother who ordered it, and Claudia carried it out!"Nicholas still couldn't comprehend, his voice hollow and di
Nicholas started trembling uncontrollably, anger surging through him almost instantly, consuming every fiber of his being.Although he was aware that there were still some unresolved misunderstandings between him and me, she had already said she didn't mind. He had thought it wasn't something import
The ambulance arrived swiftly, its flashing red warning lights casting Yasmine's pale face in an even starker hue.She got into the ambulance with Leo, while Nicholas and I drove together to the hospital.Nicholas sighed regretfully, "I arranged everything as quickly as I could, but I was still a bi
